Seriously considering buying that if its true!

Has this link been posted yet? It explains the ticket for life. Petrucci says it lets you go to any DT show for the rest of your life. Basically what you dared to think it may be but expected not. That's what it sounds like.

Since it's in an officially released clip, I'm going to point out that the melody JR is screwing around with at 4:20 in the clip is from the new album, although it doesn't sound like samba on the CD

I would almost say that it's impressive how you can recognize a melody from the new album even when it is done a little differently. But then I imagined your having listened to the album a million times already and got envious! So now my skin is green, thank you very much!
But seriously, I'm guessing here it's from Far From Heaven?

[Super Dude]

Not long now.

Another new promo shot




with a relaxed version of JM

[Jirpo]

I'm finding the background very confusing 

[wasteland]

I'm finding the background very confusing 

How so? It's just some random lot of buildings, isn't it? Maybe this was shot on the rooftop of the studio, I remember the photograph saying he had very little time  to work with the band.

[Jirpo]

Yeah, that slanty thing to JR's right and the fact that JLB seems to be sitting on thin air are just confusing for me. Nice shot though.

[BlobVanDam]

JLB's leaning against the edge thingy.
The stuff behind JR is confusing though since you pointed it out. It's like a wall of concrete that stops at nothing and a building appears.
I think it's a pretty good photo though.

[tri.ad]

I like that photo. Overall, I think that an urban background suits DT quite well. Or at least it's how it's used, I don't know...

Race to the wall to find / One more building APPEEEEEEARRRSSS

But seriously, isn't that thing a chimney?

[robwebster]

Just chillin' by the bins. John Myung's doing his food-smile, so I reckon this was taken just before dinner-time.

James LaBrie's just leaning on one of those ledges they put up on rooftops so you don't die. No biggie there. I'm more interested in the precise geography of what's going on behind Mike Mangini's legs.

Still! Nice that they've got shadows by the bins. Poor Adrenaline Mob. Poor, vampiric, Adrenaline Mob.

[The Presence of Frenemies]

Myung's head looks way bigger than it normally does in that pic. Kinda creepy.

[robwebster]

Tell you what? This is the kind of picture depth-perception was made for. I keep thinking things are too tall, or too small, or don't quite join up, and then squinting before realising that actually they're just a little distant. Bring on the 3D internet, I say.

[Mladen]

It's a weird promo shot, they should take more pictures at random places. 

[Millais]

not sure i like this photo that much compared to the one that was released last week - hints of barrel distortion leaving a wide-angle effect on the members of the band and, strangely, quite a cluttered background.
To be fair though, the photo released last week (can't find the original at the moment, here's a photoshopped version - https://www3.picturepush.com/photo/a/6364226/1024/Picture-Box/dt11window.gif) was pretty incredible!

[Super Dude]

They gotta get a new photographer; in this one it looks like MM and JM don't really know what to do with themselves, and I believe it was the same for MM in the previous promo photo.

[ZirconBlue]

I think MM looks really cool in this one.  Except that it looks like he was leaning on a wall that they've photoshopped out.

[Super Dude]

17 days.  The wait has gone back to driving me crazy again.

[chknptpie]

MM looks like a BAMF in this picture. Not wearing black, he stands out in contrast. Glasses, looking cool.

+1 At least it's not long now...hopefully time will fly by!

Wow I never thought I'd see a complaint about barrel distortion in a Dream theater forum!

That's precisely why it's driving me crazy again.  It's like we're almost there...almost...JUST HURRY THE FUCK UP ALREADY!

[chrisbDTM]

thats the best promo so far. imo

[jonny108]

Just bought the deluxe package, didn't realise they'd sell out that fast!

Barrel Distortion would be a cool song title.

[The Silent Cody]

So We have 30 august today. In the next friday A Dramatic Turn Of Events will be available in Poland  I'm starting right now my run through DT discography before release of the new album I can't wait!!

[JoSeM90DT]

More samples:

[bosk1]

More samples:

*snip*

  I have been very clear about what can and cannot be linked to.

[Blackfield]

It's somewhat ruining anticipation of the first listening experience of the album with all these snippets and stuff being released. Maybe 2-3 snippets would have been "teasing", but not 5 or 6.

[Super Dude]

Yeah I actually would've preferred two complete songs rather than a bunch of snippets, but I'm not complaining.

[Zydar]

I preordered the album yesterday.

And now the waiting begins.
